This popular textbook provides a concise, but comprehensive, overview of health research as an integrated, problem-solving process. It bridges the gap between health research methods and evidence-based clinical practice, making it an essential tool for students embarking on research. Practitioners also benefit from guidance on interpreting the ever-expanding published research in clinical and scientific journals, to ensure their practice is up to date and evidence-based and to help patients understand information obtained online. Uses simple language and demystifies research jargon Covers both quantitative and qualitative research methodology, taking a very practical approach Gives examples directly related to the health sciences Each chapter contains a self-assessment test so that the reader can be sure they know all the important points Provides an extensive glossary for better understanding of the language of research Online interactive self-assessment tests: Multiple choice questions True or false questions Short answer questions Log on to evolve.elsevier.com/Polgar/research and register to access the above assets.

Excerpt from The History of the Development of Medical Science in America as Recorded in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences: An Historical Study There are few undertakings more pleasant and profitable than the study of. The development of some branch of scientific activity, and in a country so young as ours it is possible in many instances to trace such evolution from its very start, and to observe the sources in other countries from which its original inspiration was de rived. It is so of our medical literature and teaching. The men who subsequently founded the first medical schools of America finished their medical studies under the great teachers in the universities of Leipsic, Leyden, London, and Edinburgh, and upon their return to this country imparted the learning of their masters to those who be came their pupils. There was one drawback, however, to the early progress of medicine in America which retarded its development. For many years, the lack of a medium of expression and communication for its workers, without which no science can thrive and develop.
